Man charged in wrong-way crash in Greenfield

Charges have been filed against a man accused of driving the wrong way on Interstate 43 and crashed into a dump truck.

Felipe Arriaga, 32, is charged with three counts of recklessly endangering safety in the April 29 incident.

According to court documents, deputies responded to the report of a wrong-way driver and crash on I-43 near 76th Street in Greenfield around 11:25 p.m. Deupties found Arriaga's car had sideswiped a dump truck on the interstate after the truck swerved to avoid the car.

The complaint states that prior to striking the dump truck, Arriaga reportedly encountered another car with a woman and child inside. The woman was able to swerve off the road and avoid Arriaga's vehicle.

Documents indicate that deputies found Arriaga had "red and glassy-looking" eyes at the scene. The complaint states that he told deputies that he had come from Mad Dog's Saloon, consumed two to four drinks, and was aware that he had driven the wrong way on the highway.

The criminal complaint indicates that Arriaga also had a small amount of marijuana on him at the time of the crash.

He could face more than 30 years in prison if convicted on all three counts.
